Edward Crawford claims to have pinpointed the exact location of Noahs Ark, He only needs permission from the Turkish government to start an excavation of the site.
There's a news story about it here ... www.tribnet.com/news/local/story/1377023p1495710c.html
There's another web site with more detailed information, including site maps, and other findings here... www.vonbora.org
Talk about rocking the boat! What effect do you think this would have on society if they excavated the site and gathered physical proof of the Arks existence?

In any event, it certainly doesn't provide a slam dunk on the issue. The Biblical account could very well document an actual event, but that doesn't mean the event hasn't been distorted in the retelling. |

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | aye, it might have just been a guy who had the foresight to build a big boat to move his cattle across the river during flood season... unless the ark turns out to be 10 miles long and contain a detailed ledger documenting the placement of 2 of every beetle species on the boat somewhere, I will remain unimpressed....

While the search for the Ark isn't anything new, this guy has made other discoveries since then. I think it's well worth looking at, the only problem I think he'll have is getting permission for the excavation. He found some stone inscriptions in 83, so some of his studies are more recent.
Most stories do get distorted when being retold, I think the Bible is the one source where the story has remained the same throughout the ages.

If a guy simply built a boat to move his animals across a river during flood season, then how did end up on the top of a mountain? 
A detailed document? Why would Noah need a detailed document? 
What if they found DNA samples of every type of animal that had been on the Ark?

Assuming they miraculously withstood the ravages of time? Sure, that would work for me.

Maybe some of the larger animals they took were young and not fully grown yet. That might help fit more of them on it, and also make the feeding and care of them a bit easier.
